Hi there,

Chat module is great....  very simple (simple is good!), very quick.... 

Would love the option to choose "Display Name" instead of "username" to replace the "{0} says" in the module settings.

Seems people are making "Display Name' the default for just about everything now that it's an option.

Otherwise, good stuff!

I agree: the option to use Display name is most wanted - not least for us hosts - who end up with being displayed as just Host - while being displayed by Display name most other places on the site. For the rest: KISS - keep it simple.. yeah you know the phrase!

That is certainly one of the little enhancements we have in mind for the module.

Web applications, DNN websites, modules, skins and support

Why wait?  In App_Code there is a file called DnnChat.vb, it contains the DnnChat class.  Open the file in your favorite text editor, go to line 545.  You'll be inside the private function GetSenderName.  Change "Return ParentModule.UserInfo.Username" to "Return ParentModule.UserInfo.DisplayName".

You're welcome.

Chris
